The Club

Petition to support Arsene Wenger

|

There have been far too many unfair attacks on our manager from the media and some ‘fans’ recently which are just undermining the manager and team and are just adding more unneccessary pressure. It’s time for us true supporters to stand up for our manager and our club in this difficult time.

An online campaign has been started here http://www.petitiononline.com/Gunners1/petition.html , to support Arsene Wenger and condemn the negative attacks being made on our manager and our club by sections of the media.

We stand behind the man who has revolutionised not only our great club, but also English football in general with his training techniques and general approach to football, and who has also produced teams that have played some of the best and most enjoyable football in the history of the game. We firmly believe that this man deserves more respect than he is getting and that football in general in this Country owes him a great deal. Perhaps no one other individual has contributed more to the advancement of English football during the last 20 years.

The petition will be sent to the club as a show of our support once we have enough signitures.

Please click here to sign.

  • cs_gooner says:

    Well done for being astute. Calling all true gooners to support this. This is the best way to separate the true fans from the herds.

  • ken says:

    TO ALL ARSENAL FANS
    Open your minds for a few minutes and listen to me. Forget for a moment that you are anti-Wenger OR Pro- Wenger, or AKB, or Wenger-hater.
    Just listen (do not take it textually) to the following:
    1. A couple months ago there was a post which circulated and it mainly hinted that Wenger was given another year by the board for his youth project.
    2. A couple of weeks ago Hill-Wood said that it was very probable that AFC will not win any trophy this year again.
    3. Last week Wenger and Hill-Wood again said we are going to spend if we find the right players (they said the same thing Last year and in January 2011).
    4. Yesterday Wenger told the press that buying players will not necessarily bring about a winning team.
    5. We also have to remember that Stan was in London around one month ago for a special meeting. On the agenda was the issue to discuss the financial risks associated with investing on high priced players.
    6. The timing for selling Fabregas and that for Nasri runs down to the final weeks of the transfer window.
    7. Deals for Cahill, Mata, Hazard, etc have run out of favour as the window is soon to close.
    This is a perfectly calculated scenario. However what was not foreseen was the long injury list. The replacement of Fabregas by Ramsey, backing up of Song by Frimpong, replacement of Bendner by Ryo Miyaichi has all been planned in detail by Wenger.
    The master plan also consists of players (even Vermalen) boasting to win the title this year (as they do every year) and each one at a time gives a declaration to the press about their commitment to the team, their dedication and that they also feel they are ready to step up. That is all ok except that in reality they are not ready, they have no dedication and they do not need to lie to fans who are paying for their salary. They should show their dedication on the field, their ability when playing against tough opponents and most importantly they cannot assure us of their strength through their mouth.
    THAT’S WHAT WENGER DOES WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT. He gives us a verbal assurance of the team’s ability and once the players are on the field they fail lamentably. THEY ARE DOOMED TO FAIL BECAUSE WENGER IS MORE WORRIED ABOUT THE BUSINESS MODEL THAN THE FOOTBALLISTIC PERSPECTIVE. THE BOARD IS MORE INCLINED TOWARDS KEEPING THE MONEY SAFELY IN THE BANK THAT SPENDING IT IN REBUILDING THE TEAM.
    Players have been brought in this year, but they are meant for the business model, i.e Campbell, Chamberlain are investments just like Fabregas. Around 15 million for each one, we are not even sure if they will one day be worth more than has been invested. Why? BECAUSE the plan is about making money and you have to invest and take risks to get high dividends afterwards. So this type of transaction is very easy at Arsenal but the other one buying strong and already made players will never be on Wenger’ and the board’s agenda.
    SO THERE IS ONLY ONE THING WE CAN DO AS FANS IF WE WANT OUR TEAM TO LAND IN THE TOP FOUR THIS YEAR (WE SHOULD NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT WINNING THE TITLE NOW). WE HAVE TO HURT THEM AT THE PURSE LEVEL. WE HAVE TO REFRAIN OURSELVES TO GO THE EMIRATES HOWEVER MUCH THAT HURT US AS FANS. THEY HAVE TO GET THE MESSAGE: “AFC WILL LOSE MORE MONEY IF THEY DO NOT SPEND SOME FUCKING MONEY AND REPLACE THE DEPARTING PLAYERS WITH QUALITY’’.
    WE ALL HAVE TO BE ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH (AKB, ANTIWENGER, LIFE LONG SEASON TICKET HOLDERS, OPTIMISTS ETC). WE HAVE ONLY 10 DAYS REMAINING. WE HAVE TO ACT NOW.
    LETS’ STOP THE BOOING, WE MUST NOT AIM AT THE PLAYERS BUT AT THE ASS HOLES WHO ARE ONLY INTERESTED WITH THE PROFITS. EVEN THEN, THEY DO NOT HAVE TO SPEND OUT MONEY FROM THEIR POCKETS BUT WHAT WAS PLANNED TO BE INVESTED IN REINFORCEMENTS THIS SEASON.
    SO GUYS LETS DO IT, IT IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO CONVINCE THOSE GREEDY BASTARDS OF OUR OWN COMMITMENT TO THE TEAM, TO ARSENAL FC (the football club , not the cash machine).
    Thanks to all those who understand. And those who do not , please do not try to call me a fool etc, you simply cannot, I hold bagful of qualifications and certifications. All that I have written is sensibly right and is a rational deduction and forecast based on events that have marked me as an AFC fan since 1970.
    Please help me relay this message to all our friends and to all AFC fans that we know.

  • Ayodele Oluwaseun Ige says:

    football ECONOMICS in my foot…
    mr. manager, let me tell you something you do no: two people were kill each orther yesterday after your foolish loss, they were are …….

  • BatonRougeGooner says:

    In Arsene I trust

  • Bongo says:

    A message to the admin of this site.
    Please just delete the Anti-Wenger comments on this site.
    You may feel that it is good to have open discussion and it is, but their comments are useless, they don’t form the basis of any kind of discussion indeed they are just spam. They are disruptive and wholly annoying.
    Stop giving these idiots a voice, they don’t have a replacement in mind they just spout nonsense.
    Any true supporter would stop giving these fools a voice because I know for a fact a lot of Spurs and Man Utd fans have been posing as Gooners to continue to disrupt us. I know because I have friends who support those teams doing just that.
    The Anti-Wenger brigade have no solutions they just have reactions and I for one am sick of listening to their FIFA 11 inspired crap.

  • cs_gooner says:

    To my dear Ayodele Oluwaseun Ige,

    If two idiots killed each other for a football match then I should rest my case.

  • Charlie says:

    Whoever you are starting this campaign, you have wasting your time. First of all it is not the media that is undermining the manager. It is the fans and Wenger himself. Is it not the media that coined the name ‘invincibles’? How have they now turned on Wenger. The mecia report what they see. And what everyone sees is that Arsenal will fail if Wenger continues to be in charge. Youcan get as nany clowns to sign a register but how does that make the team win games? If support could win games, we could have finished liverfool yestetday. Weger says he has not seen quality yet and that he is still looking. We have seen all identified targets join other clubs and wender is still looking. And pleases dont say I am a new supporter because I supported the club pre wenger and will definately support post him. He is not bigger than the club if he is not getting the result that a club like arsenal should be getting, he should resign and lts look else where. If he was the CEO of a business he would have been fired long time ago. We should stop all this rubbish and ask him to start winning games with quality players!

  • NIckW says:

    I applaud your loyalty but a petition like that is just a license to fail and to continue to take the piss out of the fans. You don’t need to encourage the board to think they can continue to get away with asset stripping the team and invest nothing you need to encourage them to buy some players.

  • Jim says:

    Support for what? Support for abject failure. Past success doesn’t make up for failure of today. Not to invest in the squad. Lies, all lies. Enough is enough. Wenger can fool you guys all the time, but not me. Not anymore.

  • Con says:

    Well said ken. If Wenger doesn’t spend he’s gotta go I’ve had enough of this situation were in. 7years is enough. We’ve actually gone backwards. Sort it or fuck off and I am an arsenal fan no matter what you blind cunts say

  • Francis Jay says:

    No problem with the support campaign and all but why Arsene and the Board are silent. Why cant they just inform the fans on what they are doing and the plans for AFC.

  • Exo says:

    As soon as Arsene let the buy out clause on Juan Mata run out I knew there would be no big signings. Time has run out now to bring any new players in as clubs don’t have time to replace them. After Bendtner and Nasri have left, along with Cesc, Clichy, Eboue, the club would have made a cool £80 million even after buying in Oxlade and Jenkinson and there is no way that is gonna b spent on new players. The board won’t budge even if a few games get lesser attendances. NO ONE MAN IS BIGGER THAN THE CLUB – Unless your Arsene Wenger

  • Kamara says:

    @barton u are a big fool. What amount of sense do u need to wise.

  • wagzo says:

    As much as I will like to drum up some support for Mr. Wenger, we shouldn’t run away from the impotence of our current team. While Mr. Wenger has on numerous occasions and fora, shouted his “commitment” to d team but my question is what sort of “commitment”. We keep losing d better players in d team and we bring in players who to me are best described as “average” and we think its gonna work!! Its only natural if u try s same rote singular thing to achieve a result and u don’t get results, then u should try ur hands on some other methods of achieving d same result. If indeed Mr. Wenger wants to win a trophy for d club, then he should as a matter of urgency wake up to d reality on ground – times and changed and his rote philosophy won’t earn d club a trophy……just see what d more successful clubs are doing lately….Gunner till I stop breathing

  • Chris says:

    Ken, Charlie & NIckW………spot on!!

  • SUmanth says:

    You want us to support for selling Fab and Nasri ?? Wenger said we were not a big club if we sell those players and we sold one, about to sell the other. No replacements yet. He is trying to create an impression that AFC is not a big club ?? Time to leave Wenger..

  • WillyG says:

    I think the real situation is, players like Cahill, Samba, Jagielka and the rest just refuse to play under Wenger.

    Wenger has to go!!

    In Arsene We Rust!!!

  • Roly says:

    Pls no hurted arsenal fan is going to support u in dis idea. I love d club more dan u and wenger. Hw can we support a man has no plan for d club,he has only faith dat he can use d young boys to win trophies one day. U and i knw dat in modern day futball it is cheat and robbery. If u invest a project massively u will definately reap d dividene. Pls d board of directors are d ones killing d club. Stan kroenke likes d money nt d club. Does wnt to invest but want 2 reap again dat stealin by trick.

  • Ken says:

    Profit before trophy policy A person be it business football or anything else is judged by success if you had a business and it had failed over the last six years you would change it or you don’t have a business. This club has been in steady decline for the past six years and it’s not all down to building a new stadium it’s about basic knowhow Wenger so often gets out thought in tactics and bad error of transfers such as squalachi silvestre to name but a few this club will continue in it’s current slump unless a new leader with fresh ideas is bought in with immediate effect

  • wez says:

    I dont know weather to sign or not?!
    Wenger has been great for us over the years and I thank him for those years he has given us but I dont see us getting any better with him in charge. I have been one of the majority of fans that back Wenger through thick and thin but lately I am edging towards the dark side. I have just lost all hope for my club I just dont see where we are going!? I hate the fact that im questioning le boss and im sick to death of everyone clinging on to his great history. Its time we stop looking to the past glories and the future potential and start to concentrate on the here and now because 13 points out of our last 13 prem games is relegation form not champions form! And being at the club for as long as he has, he has no one to blame for our incredibly thin squad other than himself! Quite frankly I can’t see us making europa league next season let alone challenging for the championship and champions league unless wenger spends some serious money! I really hope im wrong and my faith in Wenger is restored. Can someone please give me some hope for the season ahead that will make me believe we can win something this year?!

  • Okey says:

    Thank you all for your comments. We are all AFC fans and should fighting in house as this would create doom for our club. @Ken, thank you for your detailed analysis. @the writer. You have also written well. But we must understand that AFC is bigger than us, the manager, the board and the players. Our concern should be to seek solution for the development of the club and not an individual. @ken’s comment is in many sense very true, the board and Wenger are busy packing up money while the fans groan in agony. The same fans that mint this cash for them. The Newcastle match was an anomaly, a disgrace. I have read Wenger say we do not need another defender, common guys that is pure madness. How do you sell a top class defender, clichy, sell a make shift one, ebou, sell a world class midfielder, fabregas, about to sell another world class midfielder, Nasir ( even if Wenger insist he stays, his heart is no longer with us) and yet you can not buy a single world class defender and midfielder, THAT IS ABSOLUTE MADNESS. Last season after the end we knew we needed at least o e defender and an attacker. Fine, he buys gervinho, an attacker but no defender. Then he sells when we need more players and refuses to add. Wenger cannot bring out a good sum and buy a player and yet he would be glad to accept huge amounts for other clubs when they come calling for our players. THIS IS PAINFULLY. I am an African, we support AFC with so much passion and a lot of are ready to pass through thick and thin with the club but the manager and the board should be more responsible to their duties.
    Wenger has for the past 6 years continued to run a particular policy and we hae not picked a single silverware, yet he continues. How do you keep on trying a particular thing for several years and expect a different result common on thats

  • kc says:

    Hahahahaha there are more anti-wenger comments on here than pro…..nice try but Wenger has to go. Six percent your having a laugh…….

  • diamond dave says:

    support the manager what planet do you live on? you obviously dont hold a season ticket or go to matches and probably still go to bed with your winnie the pooh teddy bear!! wake up man , arsenal have only since last season won one game in 15, that is relegation material, also wenger the idiot has known for a whaile fab and nasri where leaving he should have had placements lined up any good manager does that, we pay the highest ticket prices in the world to watch this crap, wenger is at fault he knew the proplems for some time now we are talking over a period of six years his philosphy has sunk like he will in the near future and good riddance to him these kids need experienced players to help them grow into world class players not arshavan who is pathethic and rosiscky who has not performed for years and walcott who has never progressed in his time at arsenal, wenger has promised last season and this season he would bring in more players with experience well where are they just more frigging kids, and if you went to newcastle and watched the udinese game then the liverpool game then you would have seen in midfield we are weak defensively vemalen was outstanding the only player that was, up front we could not even strike a match, so before you start making comments about supporting wenger relaize to that he is responsible and he would have known the proplems we had and he has done nothing about it, also let me add kenny sansom my favourite left back for arsenal of all time has even stated we are five players short of just even getting near the top 4, george graham has even said we need at least 4 to 5 players and the list goes on if you where a true arsenal fan you be at the matches, not cuddling your teddy bears, those who pay are entitled to see a better perofmenace from real quality players not a bunch of kids that have no clue and cant score or defend or even hold midfield to me we need a manager who is willing to spend to improve the squad and lets be honest there are better players around than what we have so next time reason before you think

  • andrew says:

    ken u got it right. a fans shud boycot the matches doing it twice only wil pump sense to wenger en his acomplices’ head. Wether we turn up in milions 2 suport da team it cant win in its present form. The players r inocent and surely give their best but they shud get suport from quality signings. Wenger boasts of having brought quality: which quality that no club wants to buy: denlson, alumnia, bendtner, eboue went cheap, adebayo is now stranded. Yes the little quality he brings he cant keep it coz it cant win coz it is surounded with a lot of average. Even the good ones remaining will go when they get 24 without any medal. So this website if you are a true fan, get signatures to boycot matches.

  • Berts says:

    I have been an Arsenal fan for more than 40yrs and I am a season ticket holder, but this is easily the worst Arsenal side in the last 4 decades. I am fed up with Wenger’s ridiculous experiments and preposterous philosophies. He dismantled the Invincibles yet he had no plan to replace the talent. His 30+ policy is utter nonsense, we have lost quality players because of it. He promised this will be a busy summer, yet we have only been busy selling our best players! We desperately need a new manager, Wenger is now dragging the club down the sewers. Even Fabregas said that at any other top club Wenger would have been sacked years ago.

  • Kamara says:

    Right from the time the ref ended the game up to date i ve been inside with my phone off bcause of disgrace ,frustration , disapointment etc. indeed i cant go out and meet my friends who are man u, CFC. Man city etc. Imotionaly am weak. With all these sbody wil sit swhere & tel me in AW we trust.dat is totaly bogus. someone(clawn THWAT) shld tel me where AW arogance wil send us. The kids (teenagers) did wel by making their fathers age mates to suffer but AW is now a disgrace to hinself & AFC.THE FA need to charge him 4 violating labour laws & abusing teenagers right.where on earth have ever seen a child batle with his fathers age mate 4 something that is total disrespect.

  • bc says:

    George Graham 4 trophy less seasons in 9

    Arsene Wenger 10 trophy less seasons in 15

    Simply NOT good enough

  • bc says:

    Berts – You must suffer from serious Insomnia. You say you have been a supporter for 4o years well that is almost as many as me. Surely you can remember the team that nearly took us down for the first time in our history? The likes of Roberts, Barnett, Mancini, etc. Also what about those few terrible years under Don Howe, they were truly disgraceful. I am certainly not supporting the stubborn old Mule, but you cannot compare this team of 23 FUL internationals to those heady days of mid 70’s and mid 80’s when i think the only internationals we could scrape together were Irish.

  • Berts says:

    @bc
    Do you really seriously think we will survive with this team? Look where we are on the table mate, we are where we belong, the table doesn’t lie. And when Nasri is gone you will see just how bad the situation is. Man U went down in 1974 with a comparatively better squad in that league than we have now. Yes we were nearly relegated before, but it never happened so I don’t see your point there.

  • ash says:

    U morron wenger balls sucking deluded fans go n suck his balls dry,cos of u pethatic wengerr ball sucking fans we are in this possiton u arshole belive everything he say,u morrons are so blind,get his balls out from ur mouth n look at the team,even my pub team is better thn the curent arsenal team

  • Abbas says:

    Supoting wenger is the last thing i wil do as a true AFC fan, its arant nonsense to suport wenger again, can’t you guy see the insult we are recieving from our worsth oponent fans ( chelsea ) all becouse of wenger mostly we in africa can not talk in the midst of other club fans becouse our club have bow out of context, pls my fellow guners in london you have stop goin to emirate stadium and watch match as a protest if we truely love these club. Wenger have to buy us quality players or leave the club, pls lets register our greavances by staying away from emirate stadium.

  • Berts says:

    Arsenal tickets are the most expensive club tickets in the world. How do the board and Wenger justify the hefty ticket price increase when we watch this eye-sore rubbish week-in week-out? Even Wolves are a better side than Arsenal.

  • gunner from birth says:

    no one is more upset then me with arsene’s transfer activity but after watching liverpool i didnt think we played to badly.. considering we had a few key players injuried i wasnt that disapointed despite the 2-0 lost… yes arsene is being stubborn but he has brought the club from boring boring arsenal to the arsenal of today..no one can question what he has acheieved an its just a bad time and i believe we will pull through. we have spent the least out the top 4 an still we are in there

  • john says:

    I support wenger very much so it is early in the season yet when all the players are fit it will be some team.He will by another few players just believe in his judmeant in arsen we trust

    @ken … see mate, you DO have BPD.

    You’re now pasting your novel of righteousness in other bloggs.

    I replied to this on another blog.

  • Kirwa says:

    Arsenal fans need to get behind the team now more than ever, whining and name calling won’t get us the glory we are craving for. Its true the squad is thin but that is something that can be fixed.
    Destroy the belief in the team and you will realise some stuff are irreversible. It won’t matter who you buy! Guys needs to stay focused and avoid the temption to worship a media that is wading in mediocrity.

  • edwin says:

    In arsene I don’t trust..just hustling and using arsenal club as a front

    Until he buyz atleast 2 big players ima hate him…had enough of he’s lies…very angry4six long years…all da man u fans teases me…look at man city..money can buy success…FA Cup..very good example

  • Toups says:

    Great idea, can you put a petition up to get David Dein back aswell?

  • wengernumb says:

    a petition to support wenger?….are you sure?..thats like voting for a paedo to be a child-minder!!!…
    wenger is proving more and more his amazing ineptitude..he gets everything wrong these days..transfers, tactics, discipline, understanding of the players, fans .
    vote for wenger..i would rather vote for the chuckle brothers to run our team!!!

  • iyke says:

  • ken says:

    in reply to Arsenal1Again.
    You are like most would be psychologist and amateur. No analytical talents. I guess you know nothing about what you are talking about and the point is you are too foolish to understand the problem and situation.
    Just as like you did, i will comment about your personality. You are an ass hole for whom arguments are not important, and you can only think about disgracing the person in front of you as you are brainless.
    You are so dumb that you do not understand what i am talking about and you have no idea what analysis is about. Sorry for you mate, but go school again and learn how to collect information, do some statistics, analyse them, define scenarios, add a little bit of deduction and extrapolation before coming out with an explanation.
    May be a several years of school won’t be enough. Better perhaps, you should keep the money you pay for tickets and buy some brains instead.

  • CK says:

    I am a loyal fan but we must admit it AW and the Board have lost the plot. The strategy of only recruiting young players has failed. They are incapable of winning trophies and once they are mature they want to leave the club. We have become a “selling club” and that is the source of the profits. The Board is happy because the value of the club keeps increasing. But the fans are unhappy because we are not winng the trophies. No one is bigger than the club – not even AW. We need a change of strategy. One that mixes young players with world class experienced ones. One that invests profints in the team not the pockets of the Board. AW has been good for AFC but its time for a change.

  • bob says:

    wenger is stale… and is paid 6m pa.

    we have the highest season tkt price.

    there is money

    but he wont spend it.

    GET THE CLOWN OUT !

  • Ken says:

    Just been announced Chelsea have signed matu for 26 million had wenger and the board been more forcefull he would have been an arsenal player by now and what for the sake of a million or two and very strange how the tentative interest was put in just before the emarites cup so as to appease the fans
    Bad management by gadizs and wenger they should both go

    He needs Cahill jagelka or samba for Wednesday’s game the money’s in the bank business can be done on a Sunday
